Hi there,

Just wondering if there are any other indoor rowers amongst us? I row at home and really enjoy it once I get by bum on the seat. There is nothing like having a shower everyday when you are dripping wet from sweat lol doesn't feel quite the same stepping into it dry :)

    I do it occasionally. Probably going to start more because it helps strengthen my back and shoulders, which helps me shoot my bow. :-)

    I'm an outdoor summer rower, but I use the concept 2 whenever I get the chance to hit the gym. It's pretty awesome if you ask me. :)

    Hi there,

    I'm interested in getting one of there. Which model do you use, and (if you don't mind) how much would I need to pay?

    Cheers

    Hi Wendy, sorry for the delay in replying.
    We got ours from Ebay, sometimes you can get a real bargain if you watch them regularly. Think we paid around £500 because it was pick up only and sort of out of the way which could of put people off. They usually go for £700+ .

    We've got a Concept2 Model D with a PM3 monitor.
    Think the latest model is a Model E with a PM4 monitor.

    New they are well over £1000
    Hope that helps :)

    I know this is digging up an old thread but If you look on the Forums on the Concept2 website theres a marketplace got mine from there reasonably cheaply

    Concept2 ModelD with PM3 for £600

    Concept 2 also do a Hire scheme at about £9 per week

    Look out for the Indoor rowing comps they sell off the machines after the event sometimes at a discount

    Rowing is great exercise love it, maybe we should recruit a team for the row the world thing but limit exercise to rowing machines :) and lod actual distance along the way ??

    Best

    I just bought a rowing machine!! It's not a concept2 - too pricey for me right now. It's a piston one, and I love it! I'm going to start working it in to my regular fitness schedule as a low impact cardio! I'm hoping that it will help streghten my back and improve my posture :) Does anyone have experience adding rowing into their workout routine? I'd love to hear about what rowing has done for your body!
